CHARLESWOOD

Quiet, park-side community with an active neighbourhood association and a convenient location

Charleswood is a small community in northwest Calgary that runs along the south border of Nose Hill Park. Charleswood wraps around the larger neighbourhood of Brentwood and is, in many ways, an extension of that community. Homebuyers looking for a great location with proximity to the downtown core, schooling options, athletic facilities, convenient shopping, and park space should consider both of these established communities!

Even the population demographics of Charleswood are almost identical to Brentwood, with a mix of children all ages and a high number of seniors. The average cost of detached homes in Charleswood is pretty close to Brentwood, sitting just above the citywide average at $565,014 during the first half of 2018. However there are more single-family homes in Charleswood, and no townhouses at all. There are also fewer renters living in Charleswood, perhaps because it is a bit further from the University of Calgary campus.

Charleswood can be set apart by the number of small parks and green spaces that dot the community, making it seem a little less dense. Charleswood also borders a longer stretch of Nose Hill Park, offering easy access to the park from the north end of the community. The park is one of Calgary’s largest and most impressive, covering 11 square kilometres of grassland ecosystem. Wildlife can often be seen from the extensive hiking trails, and a large designated off-leash areas makes it a popular spot for active Calgarians.

Like all communities in this area, Charleswood enjoys great access to recreational facilities and convenient shopping. The University of Calgary offers sports programs and equipment rentals to the public, and the nearby Foothills Athletic Park and Aquatic Centre are equipped with a public swimming pool, sports fields, tennis courts, and track and field facilities. Big-box stores and popular clothing retailers can be found a short drive away at Brentwood Village, Northland Village Mall, and Market Mall.

The Triwood Community Association organizes community programs for residents of Charleswood, Collingwood, and Foothill Estates (in the north end of Collingwood). It’s a well-run community association with some of the most extensive programming offered in the city, including a range of modern fitness courses (barre, kickboxing), Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, and a variety of sports. It hosts a weekly farmers market during the months of July and August, and organizes holiday-themed events throughout the year, including a Valentine’s dinner and Halloween haunted house. The hall is a popular spot for weddings.
